Birthday gift to a friend
Hi everyone, I thought I would show you the gift I sent to my friend Angela (no blog) I decided to make a pretty little pillow trimmed in white ribbon and swarovski crystals. Angela has let me know she has recieved my gift and I am glad to say she likes it!
The picture above shows the wrapping paper and gift tag I made using images from The Graphic Fairy blog here The wrapping paper can be found under Wallpaper on the link provided, I then edited the paper in Picasa 3 to write the greetings.
The gift tag was made using an image also from The Graphics Fairy, not sure which section I got this one from though. All I did was print the image onto transfer paper and cut out the shape, I then sandwiched a small piece of felt in between and trimmed with dmc handmade cord.
Here is the pillow, the cross stitch pattern is a freebie from Martines Blog here just keep scrolling down the page and you will see it there. If you would like to see it made in pink see my previous post here.
White hand made polymer clay roses sprinkled with glitter, bow trimmed with
swarovski crystals.

Stitching news
I have not done much stitching but I have an exchange to show you, this is the one I made for Staci at
I also have another one to show but I will show that on my next post.
I made this pinkeep with a ladybird design on the back,I then decided to use the fabric as a theme to base my design on. The little bottlecap pincushion is supposed to be a ladybird, this was based on the little bottlecap pincushions that Jenny Segrest makes here
I decided to just embroider mine with the little daisy pattern to match the pinkeep.
The needlebook is my own design made from felt and blanket stitched around the edge.
The alphabet is a free design, I can't remember where I got the grid from for the cross stitch, but if anyone would like a copy please leave a comment with your email address and I will send it to you.
Here is the lovely exchange that Staci made for me.
Staci made the two lovely pillows and stuffed them with crushed walnuts, I thought this was a lovely idea. I particularly liked the way that Staci trimmed the reverse side of the pillows. Also included were the threads that Staci used in stitching the design and the buttons ribbons and thread will certainly be useful for my forthcoming projects
Thankyou Staci, I enjoyed our exchange, I shall treasure these gifts and I will put them in my new craft room when it is finishesd!
Happy stitching everyone, until next time!
More exchanges!
Hi everyone, I have been doing quite a few exchanges lately, here is the one I sent to Hazel from the
Quietly Stitching blog this week. (The exchange I received from Hazel is shown below) I made the box and covered it with this beautiful fabric from Shabby Fabrics in America, I also made the pinkeeps and little pillow using free patterns from:
Gazette 94 for the rose pattern, please see previous post for the link to this pattern.
Amitie pattern is from DesFilles et une Aiguille here
I made the polymer clay roses and the buttons from polymer clay.
Hazel sent me the most gorgeous stitching set below, I am thrilled with it. Hazel made the gorgeous bag and filled it with the lovely matching needlebook and little scissor pillow.
Thanyou Hazel, I shall treasure them always.
Thankyou for all of the lovely comments, I really appreciate them.
Happy stitching!
